CES 2025: The biggest news from this year's show

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has finished for another year. The news out of 2025's expo was definitely heavy on AI, but seemed to offer some refreshingly positive ideas for consumer tech products.

From CES's own numbers, 141,000 attendees visited the show floor to see over 4,500 exhibitors. That included over 6,000 media, though sadly, I wasn't one of them this year.

That didn't stop me from writing my little heart out over the week of news. While it didn't really compete with other, better-resourced Aussie outlets, you won't get my own individual takes on the news anywhere else.

Here's BTTR's 2025 CES coverage. If you find it useful, consider becoming a paid member to support more coverage in the future.
